enjoy... 
 
A selection  from the Edinburgh Fringe 2005:  
 
I realised I was dyslexic when I went to a toga party dressed as a goat.  
- Marcus Brigstocke at the Assembly Rooms  
 
Cats have nine lives. Which makes them ideal for experimentation.  
- Jimmy Carr  
 
The right to bear arms is slightly less ludicrous than the right to arm bears.  
- Chris Addison at the Pleasance 
 
My dad is Irish and my mum is Iranian, which meant that we spent most of our family holidays in Customs.  
- Patrick Monahan at the Gilded Balloon  
 
The dodo died. Then Dodi died, Di died and Dando died... Dido must be sh*tting herself.  
- Colin & Fergus at the Pleasance  
 
My parents are from Glasgow which means they're incredibly hard, but I was never smacked as a child ...  
well maybe one or two grams to get me to sleep at night.  
- Susan Murray at the Underbelly  
 
Is it fair to say that there'd be less litter in Britain if blind people were given pointed sticks?  
- Adam Bloom at the Pleasance  
 
My mum and dad are Scottish but they moved down to Wolverhampton when I was two, 'cause they wanted me to sound like a tw*t.  
- Susan Murray at the Underbelly  
 
You have to remember all the trivia that your girlfriend tells you, because eventually you get tested. She'll go: "What's my favourite flower?"  
And you murmur to yourself: "Sh*t, I wasn't listening ... Self-raising?"  
- Addy Van-Der-Borgh at the Assembly Rooms  
 
I saw that show, 50 Things To Do Before You Die. I would have thought the obvious one was "Shout For Help".  
- Mark Watson, Rhod Gilbert at the Tron  
 
I went out with an Irish Catholic. Very frustrating. You can take the Girl out of Cork...  
- Markus Birdman at the Pod Deco  
 
Got a phone call today to do a gig at a fire station. Went along. Turned out it was a bloody hoax.  
- Adrian Poynton at the Pleasance  
 
Employee of the month is a good example of how somebody can be both a winner and a loser at the same time.  
- Demetri Martin at the Assembly Rooms  
 
A dog goes into a hardware store and says: "I'd like a job please".  
The hardware store owner says: "We don't hire dogs, why don't you go join the circus?"  
The dog replies: "What would the circus want with a plumber"?  
- Steven Alan Green at C34  
 
I like to go into the Body Shop and shout out really loud "I've already got one!"  
- Norman Lovett at The Stand  
 
It's easy to distract fat people. It's a piece of cake.  
- Chris Addison at the Pleasance  
 
I enjoy using the comedy technique of self-deprecation - but I'm not very good at it.  
- Arnold Brown at The Stand  
 
If you're being chased by a police dog, try not to go through a tunnel, then on to a little seesaw, then jump through a hoop of fire.  
They're trained for that.  
- Milton Jones at the Underbelly.
